Three-Story, 11-Unit Residential Building Filed at 8794 17th Avenue, Bath Beach

Brooklyn-based WNS Development has filed applications for a three-story, 11-unit residential building at 8794 17th Avenue, in Bath Beach. It will measure 13,600 square feet and its residential units should average 923 square feet apiece, which means the apartments will likely be condominiums. All four units on the third floor — two of which are duplexes — will feature space on an upper penthouse level, although only the duplexes will have indoor space. There will also be nine off-street parking spaces. Harry R. Simino’s Brooklyn-based Simino Architects is the architect of record. The 75-foot-wide, 8,125-square-foot property is currently occupied by a two-and-a-half-story house. Demolition permits were filed in June. The 18th Avenue stop on the D train is six blocks away.
